“…5 Gérard Genette viewed such elements as that which surrounded and prolonged a text, or more directly, "the means by which a text makes a book of itself." 6 Bornstein's treatise offers various examples of how interpretations of the linguistic meaning are influenced by the bibliographic code, reinforcing his contention that "different arrangements carry claims of both social and authorial construction." 7 Davis further illustrates this theoretical approach in his essay on W. B. Yeats' preoccupation with materiality.…”

Since the publication of Translation and Conflict: A Narrative Account (Baker 2006), there has been a growing interest in applying socio-narrative theory to Translation Studies, with Baker's ideas extended and applied to several different areas of inquiry. This article gives a brief overview of these projects, and discusses in more depth the example of my own application and development of narrative theory. This includes a revised typology of narratives, the combination of narratological and sociological approaches, an intratextual model of analysis, and a new emphasis on the importance of narrators and temporary narrators in the (re)configuration of narratives. The article ends with a brief discussion on further topics within Translation and Interpreting Studies to which narrative theory might be applied.

“…These paratextual elements (Genette, 1991) are instructive as a threshold or point of entry to the text, and the logic of focusing on these in the first instance is to generate an understanding of range of collaborative practices, and forms of recognition thereof, which frame these texts.…”

Although usually marketed as single-authored, interviews with the authors of military memoirs indicated the significance of collaboration with others throughout their writing and publication process. This paper describes the nature of these collaborations. We go on to suggest that collaborative practices were not seen by the authors as diminishing to the centrality of the named author or the reliability of their narratives. That while the collaborative roles of editors, writing coaches, and agents were evident, professional (military) colleagues and friends, family members, and military institutions played a significant role in determining memoir structures, formats, styles, and contents. We also draw attention to the research interview as itself a time and space for the collaborative co-construction by researcher and author of conceptual understanding of the memoir. We argue that understanding these collaborative practices adds to, rather than detract from, our understanding and appreciation of this genre.
